Another election has come and gone, and as always I’m impressed with our new Directors, who were seated by the Board just yesterday afternoon. We had 11 great candidates running for just 5 seats, which made for a highly competitive election this year. We also had a large amount of Member-Owner participation in the voting process–213 votes were cast in this election! So, without further ado, here are the five newly-elected Directors:
- Therese Adams
- Dana Curtis
- Jake Carter
- George West
- Jessica Cassidy
Congratulations everyone!
One note of clarification for those who were at the meeting–we initially failed to count a Business Member’s vote properly, leading to an incorrect outcome at the end of the Members’ Assembly meeting. Our Bylaws state that Business Members get two votes. Shortly after the election, we realized that we had only counted a Business Member’s vote once. When the uncounted ballot was added in, it changed the outcome of the election such that Steve Randall was not elected and Jessica Cassidy was. Clearly this was a highly-competitive election! Our thanks to Steve for his understanding of this unintended snafu.
The Board would like to thank everyone for running, and we’d especially like to express our deep gratitude to our outgoing directors Lisa Jones, Ed Menard, and Steve Randall, who have contributed greatly to the Co-op during our transition from a great idea to a great brewpub. Their contributions especially to the development of our Co-op will have long-term positive effects on the Co-op for years to come.
